I am going to tell you about my favorite holiday. My favourite holiday is Chanukah. I like Chanukah because (I get presents) We eat great food and we light the candles. Every holiday has a story and I am going to tell you this one. Years and years ago, the Jews were free people roaming the land of Israel. One day the Romans came and said: We are here to take over your land. You will worship our gods and forget your religion. You will bow to our king. You will not celebrate your holidays either. As you can probably guess, the Jews were not very happy about that. So they did their holidays and celebrations in secret. The Romans were not very happy about that so, the Jews fled into the mountains. A man by the name of Judah started a revolt. He led the people to the temple only to find all the oil spilled making it impure. They conducted a search to find some more oil. Finally they found a tiny jug of oil. They lit the menorah and hoped that they could make enough for the next day. It was a tiny jug of oil but it lasted for eight days! That is all I can say for now!
